Except for private events hosted by the community, you will be able to participate in any park activities. Even if you paid your park entrance fees at the bank, you must be at the park gates before the gates close at 6 p.m. After that time, tourists will not be permitted to enter the park provinces. Those staying at the park’s one and only lodge must return by 7 p.m.
